'Today's announcement that NTT DoCoMo will implement these products in its FOMA handsets is a tremendous result for the ongoing technical co-operation between Aplix and ARM'.
'Consumer demand for rich content and interactive applications without loss of performance or responsiveness is a key challenge facing mobile handset manufacturers and operators like NTT DoCoMo', said Takafumi Nishijima, President of ARM in Japan.
'This latest development effort showcases how ARM's Jazelle acceleration technology and our partnership with a leading Java technology provider such as Aplix, enables manufacturers or operators to deliver innovative consumer applications'.
ARM Jazelle DBX technology delivers an unparalleled combination of Java performance and the world's leading 32bit embedded RISC architecture.
This level of integration provides platform developers with the ability to run Java applications alongside an established operating system, middleware and application code on a single processor.
This single-processor solution provides higher performance, lower system cost, reduced power, and more reliable operation at high frequency compared with coprocessor solutions and dual-processor (dedicated Java processor with native application processor) solutions or Java platforms using compilation techniques.
The result is optimum performance, with a difference that users will feel unmistakably.
ARM continues to develop fresh solutions that boost the performance and reduce the cost of Java platforms.
